Hello, I was thinking to write something on isolcpus on the wiki.
As I see that all the work has already been done wonderfully, I decided to include a reference to it at the Troubleshooting section http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/emcinfo.pl?TroubleShooting#The_isolcpus_Boot_parameter I think that it is a frequently used section, and that the isolcpus issue deserved an entry there. There was a broken link on section 9 that I've changed. Thank you, Javier On Sun, 2011-04-10 at 17:32 -0400, Kent A.
